Forging: The Advantages and Disadvantages

Image
Forging is the process of shaping metal, and is a common practice in a range of manufacturing industries. There are various types of forging, and these are often distinguished by the temperature at which it is conducted. The 3 independent classifications are cold, warm and hot, with the most popular types of metal including iron and steel almost universally forged hot. The process has many advantages and also some disadvantages to the companies that use it. Forging is a cost effective manufacturing process for high quantity runs it is also used for items that require the grain structure/ mechanical properties resulting from the forging process. Forging is limited to products of fairly simple design, generally without under cuts and sharp edges. Tooling costs for forging are higher than that of investment casting and Sand Casting . Drop forging offers good tolerances and repeatability. Surface finish of drop forging is also ok but signs of the flash line may be visible. Forgi

Scientific Heat Treatment Techniques and Principles

Image
Heattreatment is generally referred to as heating and cooling of different metals in a controlled way in order to amend both of its mechanical and physical properties without altering the shape of the product. The process involves the material passing through chilling or heating treatments normally at extreme temperatures so that the desired result can be achieved in terms of softening or hardening of the materials. Moreover, it's done for specific purposes for intentionally changing the properties. If we talk about the process, it is often associated with enhancing the strength of the material for improving the performance of a particular product. Generally steels are a suitable substance that goes under such treatments, since it responds well to it. Common Heat Treatments: - Hardening - Softening - Material Modification Hardening is generally done in order to enhance the wear and strength properties of the metal, especially steel.

The Process of Producing a Sand Casting

What is a sand casting? How dose it comes out? The following passages would give you some answers. Have you seen a large metal made of iron, bronze, brass of aluminum with some featured patterns in the middle? Have you noticed a cavity of wood or metal? If you say yes, I think you have already got the idea of casting. The sand is a cast part produced by forming a mold from a sand mixture and pouring molten liquid metal into the cavity in the mold. After the process of cooling, the melted metal has been solidified. At the last, a sand casting would be gotten just separated from the mold. Generally speaking, it is produced as follows. The basic step is to place a pattern in sand to create a mold. It should be mentioned that the mould has two parts divided by the parting line. The cope is the upper half and the drag is the lower half. And as you know, there are 2 main types of sand. One is called the " green sand ", and the other is the "air set". The previo

Optimize Your Supply Business and your Chain

Supply chain management has long been used to reduce costs, improve efficiencies, and raise customer satisfaction. Today, many companies even consider that a lot of competition within the manufacturing division is not just about who has the superior product or better brand, but who has the best supply chain. And, while you likely understand the significance of your supply chain, when was the last time you  really  looked at how effectively it was performing? To gain a comprehensive.
